The orange groves in this vicinity never
before looked as we'll as they. do now
The February growth was astonishing
and, In most, the fruit has set very full
for the coming crop. The Speer grove
shows, perhaps, ten boxes to the tree on
an average. DR.. French's shows seven,
and MIR. Thorp's about eight. There are
some groves which are not up to the
mark, plainly showing neglect and the
lack OF fertillzing. The season is at least
a month earlier than last year. Most OF
the oranges have been shipped, though
few men have not began picking yet.
The late oranges always bring the best
prices. 1t will be fully the middle OF
April before the present crop has been eu-
tirely disposed of.
A number OF Canadian gentlemen are
in town and several have invested in lots
and small groves. There seems to be but
little desire to sell among the grove own
